A poor choice of words for the rubgy world. Blood and sport should no longer appear together, not only for the recent events of fake blood being used to feign injuries, but for the failure of rugby authorities to fully investigate.

This was due to " The need to protect the sport from adverse publicity " Well sirs, your crass failure to clean up the sport ( Hardly the gentlemans game anymore is it ) will have the reverse effect, in my opinion.

It's a shame, yes. It's taken them about a dozens years since turning pro to sink to the depths of feigning injury like footballers do.

Far more imaginative way of doing it though!

It's been going on for years, countless senior players have said as much.

you'll be telling me some cricketers don't walk when they know they hit it next. I thought football was the only game which contained cheats (excluding athletics and cycling, eyc!)
